1918-S Mercury dime

[oddcoins]

Hello!

I got out for a couple hours on Saturday ~ I met up with Mike W down on the grounds of the University of Oregon. That place sure has been pounded ~ there's not very many targets to dig. I dug some clad, and a 1957 wheat cents, and a 1918-S Mercury dime.

The merc dime was a nice surprise! This is my silver coin find #11 for the year.

Thanks for looking!
Neil

I've been detecting since 1993. Started with a Garrett, then used White's for many years . . . . now I use a Minelad Explorer SE.

I'm not sure how many silver coins I've dug . . . . . probably more than 300, but probably closer to 400.
